White collar workers displaced by AI could spark a revolution

Earlier this month, Microsoft announced plans to lay off 9,000 employees, joining the ranks of tech companies cutting headcounts while touting the productivity gains enabled by artificial intelligence. According to CEO Satya Nadella, up to 30% of the company’s code is now being written by AI. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff one-upped him after his own firm’s layoffs, claiming that up to 50% of their work is now being shouldered by AI.

These are not simply corporate earnings call updates. They are previewing the future of work in America. When the last big economic disruption of globalization struck blue-collar workers, sending manufacturing jobs overseas, the result was hollowed-out communities, an opioid crisis and an unfulfilled promise of “retraining” for “the jobs of the future.”

Now, the AI wave is primed to hit those exact jobs, and the people who built their own prosperity on the wave of globalization that left so many others behind. But this isn’t just a mirror image of the globalization crisis. On the one hand, high-income, highly educated elites have much greater resources at their disposal to weather an economic storm.

The choice isn’t whether AI will displace knowledge workers — it’s whether we’ll see the disruption coming and prepare accordingly, or wait for the laptop class to take to the streets.

David Sacks: U.S. risks handing market to China

AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks warned Tuesday that preventing U.S. semiconductor companies from exporting high-powered chips to allies will drive nations into the arms of China.

"If we don't compete across the world, then we will hand the market to China,” Sacks told Bloomberg News ahead of President Donald Trump’s announcement of $92 billion in investments across Pennsylvania. "One of the reasons that the president went to the Gulf States on that trip is to encourage business relations between the U.S. and the Gulf state. He signed massive investment deals. One of the deals that we signed was this new exploration partnership where we want to create a pathway for the Gulf states like UAE, to buy American technology, to buy American ships, and to create data centers on the American tech stack.”

In May, President Donald Trump secured over $2 trillion in artificial intelligence and tech deals during his Middle East tour, including a landmark $1.4 trillion UAE commitment to U.S. AI infrastructure and a $600 billion Saudi investment. The agreements, which include Nvidia chip sales and a massive Abu Dhabi AI campus.

How Trump’s 50% copper tariff will affect the U.S. & the world

US President Trump on July 9th announced a 50% tariff on copper imports into the US, ostensibly to boost US copper production and make the country self-sufficient in a metal that has become critical to the future economy.

But the US mines and refines very little copper; it imports a million tonnes a year mostly from Canada and Chile and only exports 250-300,000 tonnes, out of global mine production in 2024 of 23Mt.

A 50% tax on imports will do nothing to change these facts and its effects will be extremely damaging to end users and their customers, who ultimately will pay the tariff through higher prices.

Here we take a deep dive into the tariff’s effects inside the US.

Sweden cuts red tape for changing legal gender

As of July 1, Sweden has removed some of the restrictions for changing gender legally and how it appears on official documents.

“It just feels good — one less thing to worry about,” Werner, 22, who was declared male at birth but identifies as female, told AFP.

Now, all that is needed to change is a medical certificate stating that a person’s gender identity does not align with the one indicated on their birth certificate.

Healthcare professionals have to evaluate whether the change better reflects the person’s gender identity and must ensure that the person can live with their new gender identity for the foreseeable future.

The minimum age to make the change has also been lowered from 18 to 16 years, although people under 18 need permission from their legal guardian.

A week after the law came into effect, 106 people had submitted applications, according to Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare.

Spain: 70% want mass deportation of illegal immigrants, majority of Socialist Party supporters also want mass deportations

The vast majority of Spain’s citizens want mass deportation of illegal immigrants, and there are even majorities for this policy amongst left-wing voters, according to a new poll.

Sigma Dos, which conducted its poll for Spanish newspaper El Mundo, found that 70% of Spaniards support the deportations of illegal immigrants from Spain. The pollsters referenced the “flagship” Vox party proposal which called for mass deportation of all illegal immigrants, with the pollsters asking respondents whether they would support such a proposal.

For voters of the conservative PP party, 92% supported the proposal, which shockingly, is even higher than amongst Vox supporters, who support the proposal at a rate of 89%. Even among Socialist party supporters, 57% said they backed mass deportations.

For the far-left Sumar party, 67% reject the proposal, the only party which saw majority support against mass deportations. However, the party is far smaller than the other major parties in Spain.

The demographic profile of Spain is shifting rapidly. In 1991, Spain’s foreign-born population was under 1%, but this has jumped to 20% in 2025. The country has seen a 650% increase in family reunification visas since 2020.

Project Veritas catches Secret Service guard compromising White House security

A Secret Service agent unknowingly disclosed sensitive information about his White House assignment to an undercover Project Veritas journalist, all the while mocking President Donald Trump.

The agent, identified by the media group as Marc Hendrickson, came across the undercover journalist on a dating app and appeared eager to impress her. First, he invited her to the White House and then sent a photo of his exact location while on the building’s lawn.
 
Hendrickson described himself as a “liberal” since age 18 and criticized Trump in private messages, claiming the president was “doing a lot of whacky shit right now.”

“Well if you’re close to the White House you can come here and I say hi,” he reportedly wrote.

In response, the undercover reporter said: “Haha that would be cool. I’m not working the next two three days. You’re at the White House?”

“Yes,” Hendrickson responded.  
Project Veritas portrayed Hendrickson’s messages as a potential security breach.

“This behavior reveals how easily he could be compromised or manipulated by adversaries, potentially granting hostile actors critical access or intelligence that jeopardizes the safety of President Trump and the nation,” the group stated.

The hidden cost of Europe's free education

Europe’s free university model is often seen as a triumph of modern society. With no crushing tuition bills, minimal student debt, and a promise of equal access, it sounds ideal. In countries like Germany and France, students pay only a small administrative fee, typically between $200 and $500 a year, compared to the staggering tuition costs in the US or UK. Many also receive financial aid in the form of grants that don’t need to be repaid, or low-interest loans based on need.

But behind the promises of fairness and opportunity lies a system that too often feels rigid, overcrowded, and uninspiring.

For all its accessibility, the reality of navigating these institutions can leave students feeling like just another number in a giant, bureaucratic machine.

When higher education is scaled to serve nearly everyone, as in much of Europe, it risks trading depth for throughput and personalization for administrative convenience. It works, but at the cost of treating education less as a journey and more as a bureaucratic process.

As a result, creativity gets lost. Students who want to take risks, try new things, or ask uncomfortable questions end up finding little support. Professors often lack time to mentor individuals. Students have limited choice in what they study or how they approach it. In this system, the goal is not to inspire but to produce.

Finns increasingly self identify as politically right-wing

Finnish people have been increasingly identifying themselves as politically right-wing, a new survey found.

Half the country, or 49%, defined themselves as right-wing, the Finnish Business and Policy Forum (EVA) found in its annual values and attitudes research. By contrast, only 31%, identified with the Left, while 19% considered themselves centrist.

The proportion of people classifying themselves as very right-wing has increased compared to the previous measurement of 2021. At the same time, the number of people classifying themselves in the political centre has decreased and the number of left-wingers has remained almost unchanged, EVA noted.

The majority (53% of Finns) placed themselves on the Liberal side of the ideological spectrum, while one quarter considered themselves Conservatives. Young people, students and university-educated individuals identified most as Liberals.

Despite the ideological shift to the Right, Finland’s right-wing government was not very popular and public support was low. Socialists have been leading in the polls and a recent survey found that most Finns did not regard the government’s performance as successful.

Education Department investigates foreign funding at University of Michigan after arrests of Chinese scholars

The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into the University of Michigan (UM) over concerns about undisclosed or improperly disclosed foreign funding.

In a letter sent on July 15, the Education Department’s legal wing gave the university 30 days to hand over more than five years’ worth of records related to foreign donations, foreign research collaboration, and international students and scholars, as well as the names and contact details of university officials overseeing those areas.

The letter states that since January 2021, UM has submitted foreign funding disclosures totaling about $375 million, but about $86 million of that money has been reported late, in “possible violation” of federal law mandating that institutions disclose foreign gifts and contracts valued at $250,000 or more each year.

Moore’s letter also cited two recent federal criminal cases involving Chinese nationals affiliated with UM.

In one case, a doctoral candidate from Huazhong University of Science and Technology was arrested on June 8 and was charged with smuggling roundworm-related materials into the United States.

From tech moguls to retail tycoons, the richest person in each U.S. state reflects the industries driving wealth across the country.

This map shows the richest person in U.S. every state and their estimated net worth, as ranked by Forbes.

Elon Musk is the richest person in Texas, and the world, after moving to the Lone Star State from California in 2020. The Tesla CEO has an estimated net worth of about $338 billion.

Other high-profile business leaders who are the richest individuals of their respective state include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in California with an estimated net worth of $189 billion, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in Florida with $206 billion, and Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett in Nebraska with $165 billion.

Other notable tech leaders on the map include former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in Washington with a net worth of $118 billion. He overtook his former boss, Bill Gates, after Forbes revised its estimate of the 2021 divorce settlement awarded to Gates’ ex-wife, Melinda French Gates.

In all but three states (Alaska, Delaware, and West Virginia), the richest individual was at least a billionaire.

First U.S. rare earth mine in 70 years opens in Wyoming – ‘will extract rare earth elements directly from coal’

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright touted the importance of coal and Wyoming last Friday at the ribbon cutting for Brook Mine, the first U.S. rare earth mine in 70 years and the state’s first new coal mine in decades.

The ceremony marked the opening of not only the first new rare earth element mine on American soil in more than seven decades, but also the first new coal mine in Wyoming in nearly 50 years.

The operation will extract rare earth elements directly from coal, creating what officials called a “twofer” for American energy independence.

Wright emphasized the strategic importance of breaking China’s dominance in rare earth processing.

“That industry today is completely dominated by China. Completely,” he said. “They don’t mine all of it, but even the stuff that’s mined elsewhere” has to be processed in China. “It’s that country’s goal to “have a purposeful effort to completely control that industry.”

Academic center within Georgetown's prestigious School of Foreign Service has long history of terror-supporting leaders

An academic center at Georgetown University that sits within its prestigious School of Foreign Service has a history of fostering support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamist groups.

Georgetown’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), founded in 1993, has hosted scholars sympathetic to Islamism since its inception. John Esposito, the center’s founder and a professor of religion and international affairs and of Islamic studies at Georgetown, has long defended terrorist groups and collaborated with jihadist figures.

Esposito’s scholarly and professional history includes many instances of either the defense of or support for terror groups and figures. When asked whether Hamas was a terrorist organization during a 2000 interview with the Middle East Affairs Journal, for instance, Esposito hedged.

Esposito had more charitable words for Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a late Islamic scholar and intellectual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood whom the Clinton administration banned from entering the United States.

Al-Qaradawi’s sermons and writings also included calls to kill U.S. troops in Iraq and fatwas authorizing suicide bombings.

ICE agents face 700% spike in assaults as antifa groups target their homes

Assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have skyrocketed since January amid left-wing attacks from anarchist groups and elected Democrats.

Department of Homeland Security officials reveal that ICE agents are now facing a nearly 700-percent increase in assaults as they try to arrest illegal aliens.

At the same time, the likes of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY); Boston, Massachusetts, Mayor Michelle Wu (D); Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D); Los Angeles, California, Mayor Karen Bass (D); and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) have made incendiary comments about ICE agents, with some comparing them to Nazis.

“… every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes will, of course, be identified,” Jeffries said last month, referring specifically to ICE agents.

At the same time, Antifa-affiliated groups, according to DHS officials, have started targeting ICE agents and their families — posting identifying information about them online, including their home addresses.

US to build Philippine boat repair facilities near contested South China Sea

The US Navy plans to build two repair facilities for smaller vessels operating in the western Philippines, with one about 240km east of a fiercely contested reef in the South China Sea.

Located in the Spratly archipelago, Second Thomas Shoal hosts a small detachment of Philippine forces aboard a grounded navy vessel and has been the site of clashes with Chinese ships. Beijing claims almost the entirety of the crucial waterway despite an international ruling its assertion has no merit.

The US government’s contracting website, Sam.gov, locates one of the proposed repair facilities in Palawan province’s Quezon municipality. The facilities will provide repair and maintenance capabilities for a variety of Philippine vessels, including 7.32m watercraft, as well as other smaller conventional watercraft.

The Philippines owns several vessels that size, including rigid-hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) that have been involved in clashes with larger Chinese ships.

Cracks are surfacing in the EU’s cosy cartel

Ursula von der Leyen is, in effect, the uncrowned queen of the European Union. She has served as president of the European Commission since 2019. More than any other political figure, von der Leyen personifies the EU’s imperial ambitions and authoritarian instincts. Yet last week, she only just survived a vote of no confidence in her leadership.

That the would-be queen of Europe came so close to losing her grip on power reflects the deep instability of the political bloc that backs her. The four parliamentary factions that support her find it increasingly difficult to offer her their unconditional support. In the days leading up to the confidence vote, even MEPs from parties aligned with von der Leyen were openly criticising her presidency.

It is worth noting that the European Parliament is not really a democratic institution. It functions more as a Potemkin parliament – a stage-managed performance in which the dominant party blocs pretend to represent voters.

In practice, the European Parliament has institutionalised its own version of American-style pork-barrel politics. Von der Leyen’s power rests on her ability to balance competing demands for access to EU largesse. But the rise of increasingly confident dissident, populist parties threatens this balancing act – and with it, the old EU order.

Digital vassals? French Government ‘exposes citizens’ data to US’

France’s deepening reliance on US tech giants is raising alarms about digital sovereignty and exposing public data to foreign jurisdictions.

In a French Senate report on economic and digital sovereignty, Senators accused the French State of “political fault”. That was in regard to outsourcing essential data infrastructure to US companies subject to US extraterritorial laws, including Microsoft, despite repeated warnings and alternatives.

“France is subject to US extraterritorial law,” the report stated, warning that public data, including from health, education and critical sectors, was exposed to foreign surveillance under US legislation such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (CLOUD).

This legislation allowed the US Government to demand that companies subject to US law disclose the data they stored, simply by obtaining a judge’s authorisation.

In March 2025, the Ministry of Education signed a €74 million deal with a US company for equipping its departments and universities. The country’s elite school for engineers, École Polytechnique, also decided earlier this year to move the school’s IT system to Microsoft.

That was done despite earlier instructions from the French Government urging school districts to avoid deploying Microsoft or Google collaborative tools due to sovereignty risks.

The British have stopped believing in real estate investments

Data from the Bank of England showed that only 8% of mortgages were granted for properties intended for rent, which is 0.3% less than a year earlier. Which is one of the lowest figures on record.

On average over the decade to 2022, buy-to-let mortgages accounted for 13.3% of all mortgages in the UK. “The trend of landlords leaving the market continues, with fewer new investor buyers,” said Stan Shaw, director of estate agency Mervyn Smith in Surrey.

Authorities in England have made it harder to evict tenants and strengthened their protections. They have also passed tax reforms that have persuaded the wealthy to seek out jurisdictions with more favorable taxation.

The UK could lose 16,500 millionaires this year. “Markets like the UK have unfavorable fiscal policies, this only speeds up the decision process for those considering a move,” experts in the real estate market assure.

The wearables trap: how the government plans to monitor, score, and control you

By John & Nisha Whitehead

Bodily autonomy—the right to privacy and integrity over our own bodies—is rapidly vanishing.

The debate now extends beyond forced vaccinations or invasive searches to include biometric surveillance, wearable tracking, and predictive health profiling.

We are entering a new age of algorithmic, authoritarian control, where our thoughts, moods, and biology are monitored and judged by the state.

This is the dark promise behind the newest campaign by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, to push for a future in which all Americans wear biometric health-tracking devices.

Under the guise of public health and personal empowerment, this initiative is nothing less than the normalization of 24/7 bodily surveillance—ushering in a world where every step, heartbeat, and biological fluctuation is monitored not only by private companies but also by the government.

Russia sanctions & new weapons, is Trump stuck in Groundhog Day?

The sanctions, which would impose enormous tariffs of 500% on countries that buy Russian energy, are being pushed by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in a Senate bill that now has some 85 co-sponsors.

There is a depressing sense of Groundhog Day to the situation President Trump finds himself in again today. Having said that “sanctions cost us a lot of money” at the recent G7 Summit in Canada, signing this latest act into law will simply confirm that he is no longer in control of U.S. policy towards Russia, as he wasn’t during his first term.

Indeed, the proposed legislation would have a much worse effect on U.S.-Russia relations than the Countering American Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017, which was also pushed by Senator Graham.

Attempting to undermine Russia by pushing vast tariffs against its main trading partners simply will not work. Anyone who believes that China will suddenly stop importing Russian oil against the threat of U.S. sanctions is a fool or deliberately disingenuous. As it did earlier this year, China will simply respond with tit for tat tariffs against Washington.

Meanwhile, Russia will continue to prosecute its grinding war against Ukraine with devastating consequences for that country. Pumping more weapons into the war won’t help Ukraine win; backing secondary sanctions will kill prospects for peace. Trump should press for compromise from all sides in the conflict.

Poland complains to Vatican over bishops’ anti-government and anti-migrant remarks

Poland has called on the Vatican to take action against two Polish bishops who recently made “harmful and misleading” remarks criticising the government and expressing concern about mass migration.

In a protest submitted by Poland’s ambassador to the Holy See, Adam Kwiatkowski, the foreign ministry accused the bishops of “slandering the government”, “indicating clear support for nationalist groups”, and “undermining fundamental principles of human dignity”.

In a homily on Sunday, Wiesław Mering, bishop emeritus of Wlocławek, declared that Poland “is ruled by political gangsters” and “people who call themselves Germans”.

He also said that “our borders are threatened from both the west and the east” and approvingly quoted the words of a 17th-century poet who said that “a German will not be a brother to a Pole”.

Meanwhile, earlier during the pilgrimage, Antoni Długosz, auxiliary bishop emeritus of Częstochowa, warned that “for decades, the Islamisation of Europe has been progressing through mass immigration” and that “illegal immigrants…create serious problems in the countries they arrive in”.

Is Easter canceled in France? Le Pen threatens to topple government after aggressive new budget cancels two public holidays

"This government prefers to go after the French, workers and retirees, rather than hunt down waste," wrote the National Rally’s Marine Le Pen on social media.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou has unveiled a comprehensive plan for sweeping financial reforms designed to tackle the nation’s burgeoning budget deficit. However, Le Pen is already threatening to topple the government after the details were announced.

A key component of these reforms involves the elimination of two public holidays: Easter Monday and Victory Day (May 8th). Additionally, the government plans to introduce a new solidarity contribution for its wealthiest citizens.

“We must as a nation work more,” Bayrou said.

Le Pen has been propping up Macron’s minority government over the last weeks, which requires at least one party to vote alongside it to pass laws. However, she was quick to trash the budget proposals, noting that there are no cuts to the billions flowing to France’s exploding foreign population.

Price inflation rose in June to a five month high—but don’t blame tariffs

Price inflation is moving up again, in spite of President Trump’s repeated (and false) claims that prices are falling. The media isn’t right either, though, since much of the media consensus about June’s stubbornly high price inflation trend is that it was caused by tariffs.

Tariffs however, are not inflationary. The price inflation we now see is the continued legacy of the monetary inflation of Trump-Biden efforts to embrace huge deficits and pressure the Federal Reserve to push interest rates downward with easy-money policies.
 
According to the latest price inflation data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index rose 2.7% year over year, and 0.3% month over month. That’s the largest year-over-year increase in four months, and the largest month-to-month increase since January 2025. June’s CPI increase also places CPI growth above of CPI growth rates experienced during September of last year.

At that time, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell had declared that price inflation was rapidly moving back toward the Fed’s two-percent target. Nine months later, we can see the Fed’s forecasters were clearly wrong, as the CPI has increased by 2.1% in that period.

Is the YMCA using tax dollars to push trans agenda? Parents group urges Congress to find out

‘Our letter highlights the urgent need for an investigation into the YMCA’s federal funding since the organization continues to allow for radical gender policies that violate Title IX.’

The letter, sent by Executive Director of the American Parents Coalition Alleigh Marré to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, asks the House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency (which is chaired by Greene) “to investigate whether the YMCA is misusing public funds to implement policies that violate statutory protections and bypass parental consent.”

The nonprofit Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), which purportedly promotes “Christian principles,” according to its mission serves 4 million children yearly and receives $600 million from government grants each year, obligating the organization under Title IX to not promote “gender ideology.“

A YMCA camp in Colorado sorted campers based on “gender identity,” allowing biological boys to sleep in girls’ cabins and ensuring their “chosen pronouns were respected and honored,” while withholding the information from parents, The Gazette reported in 2024. “Parents will not be informed ahead of time if a boy is staying in a girls’ cabin,” Marré told The Federalist.
